Startling Statement Answers • 15.6% (MERIC) • 13% (MERIC) • 12.7% (MERIC) • 19.9% (MERIC) • 30% (MERIC) • $68,824 (MERIC) • $101,349 (high due to large # of skilled medical professionals within this skill area along with their high numbers of employment - MERIC) • $67,556 (MERIC) • $64,083 (MERIC) • Increasing (MERIC) • Two (MERIC; MO Women’s Council) • 24% (MERIC; MO Women’s Council) • 19% (MERIC; MO Women’s Council) • 50% (MERIC; MO Women’s Council) • 80,000 (MERIC; MO Women’s Council)

  14. Women in STEM

  15. STEM for Men

  16. CTE’s Role in STEM • STEM intensive careers are being taught in CTE areas. • Rigor and relevant • Mentoring • Career and Technical Student organizations • Work based learning opportunities • Job shadowing • internships

  17. What’s Your Role as a Educator? • Help students understanding what are STEM careers and what people in those careers do • Teacher advisement • Support Project Lead the Way (PLTW) • Support CTE training programs for all students • Promote Nontraditional involvement • Implement Career Clusters

  18. Career Clusters An approach that gives students a broader understanding of the world of careers. Connects what is learned in school to what is needed for success in college and careers.

  19. Career Cluster Framework Career Path Career Cluster Career Pathway Program of Study Plan of Study

  20. Tying It All Together Elementary - Career Awareness • PATHS

  21. Tying It All Together Intermediate & Middle School Career Exploration PATHS & CLUSTERS

  22. Tying It All Together High School Career Preparation and Application • CLUSTER • & • PATHWAYS 2 Pathways within STEM: Engineering and Technology Science and Math

  23. Career Clusters Game

  24. What Path? Laser/Optical Technician Nontraditional for? Female What Cluster? What Pathway? Engineering and Technology

  25. What Path? CAD Operator Female Nontraditional for? What Cluster? What Pathway? Design/Pre-Construction

  26. What Path? Radiologic Technician Nontraditional for? Male What Cluster? What Pathway? Diagnostic Services

  27. What Path? Horticulturist Nontraditional for? Female What Cluster? What Pathway? Plant Systems

  28. Career Cluster Model Pathways There are two Pathways in this Career Cluster. (certificates and degrees)

  29. Career Cluster Model Occupations The third level shows occupations of that Cluster Pathway.

  30. Career Cluster Model Knowledge & Skills This level shows the knowledge and skills needed.
